Abstract

We consider the log-perturbed Br\'ezis-Nirenberg problem on the hyperbolic space \begin{align*} \Delta_{\mathbb{B}^N}u+\lambda u +|u|^{p-1}u+\theta u \ln u^2 =0, \ \ \ \ u \in H^1(\mathbb{B}^N), \ u > 0 \ \mbox{in} \ \mathbb{B}^N, \end{align*} and study the existence vs non-existence results. We show that whenever θ>0,\theta >0, there exists an H1H^1-solution, while for θ<0\theta <0, there does not exist a positive solution in a reasonably general class. Since the perturbation ulnu2 u \ln u^2 changes sign, Pohozaev type identities do not yield any non-existence results. The main contribution of this article is obtaining an "almost" precise lower asymptotic decay estimate on the positive solutions for θ<0,\theta <0, culminating in proving their non-existence assertion.
